You just repeated your complaint that my knowledge of audio is a
disappointment to you. Not that I would begrudge you the right to bitch
about anything you choose, but I suggest your animosity towards moi is
rooted elsewhere than my supposed ignorance about audio.

Very true. Its your KDS and efforts to spread the vile
brain rot throughout RAO that I despise. I really couldn't care about your
lack of audio knowledge or even your general failure to participate
in audio topics but I do object to your self declared right to ridicule
and how it's contributed to the departure of so many.

Scott, you've mellowed a little bit, but you have a generally negative cant.

Awwww.

And why do you torture us with OT postings? What is the excuse for your
multi-year rant?

You for one.



I tried to plant a tree a while back. I blogged about the experience of a
newbie recording jazz in the Village. While some people replied that they
enjoyed the posts, there was very little follow-up discussion.

Since few people here are into recording...did you expect otherwise?

I concluded that most people are here to argue.

How long did that take?

One dish on the menu of argumentation is the misbehavior of others.

With the exception of the nihilistic Arny Krueger and the pestiferous Brian
McCarty, the participants in r.a.o. are well-meaning people, perhaps with a
little too much stomach acid. But I think we fall short in fulfillment of our
obligations in the use of a public resource. So I have a thought:

Let's establish a modest goal. Let's try to make 40% of the posts on this
group about audio.

You get George to agree and I'll abide.

So tell me: is George responsible for your behavior, or am I?

But he has to make up for 10 years of OT.

That could take a while.

You, for example, took a little over a year to make up for it.

That gives him 4 years of noththing but audio.

That means that you're done.

I think the group will go generally
dead with the occasional silly newb question popping up or another find
in the endless cantata quest but you'll get what you wish for.

Damn.

You don't mean that, while the volume will suffer, the noise will be
reduced?

This is a threat?

That would mean, for example, that if you do an OT post, or if I bitch about
McCarty, or if George bitches about you, most of the time, we should follow
with an audio-related post.

Note to Jenn....you're only allowed 40% Test posts. Better get those
filters straight quick.

Good one!

Congrats!

Hm. Why do you oppose test posts? It will keep the volume on RAO up.
